Millet porridge can acquire a bitter taste for several reasons.
Why millet is bitter and how to remove the bitterness, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, a cook, and a fourth-class baker.
Why is millet bitter?
Firstly, millet porridge can taste bitter if the grain is poorly cleaned or too old.
The shelf life of millet in a sealed package is up to nine months.
Secondly, bitterness appears if the porridge is burnt or sour.
Millet with milk cannot be stored for more than two days, even in the refrigerator.
Rinsing and soaking will help prevent bitterness.
